Deportations on a large scale, are going to begin very soon after Trump takes office in January. Some of us may have gotten to know some of the people being deported.
Let's remember that all these deportees knew what they were getting into, when they came here, in violation of US law. For them, this has always been possibility, and is not a shock.
Let's also take note of the fact that thousands of the deportees committed a crime (US Code 8, Section 1325- EWI - Entry Without Inspection), and could arrested and imprisoned for 6 months + fined. That is IF they did not commit any other crime while they were here, in which case, the penalties could be much stiffer.
Getting off with only deportation and no fines or imprisonment, is not too bad, considering the consequences if they were held fully accountable, as thousands of American prisoners are, serving time in US prisons.
So just remember that the deportees created this situation, and they now are entering into the final phase of it. For children of the deportees, it is unfortunate, since they were either dragged here by their careless parents, or were born here. In either case, they can return to the original country with their parents, and hopefully those countries will not resist them at all.
